About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Y338VRjuliec0 contributionsFabulous tour of BarbadosWhat a tour!! 👏😀👏😀 our guide Ahmed was fabulous. We had some ideas already of what we wanted to do during the day but Ahmed gave us some ideas too. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was very knowledgeable about the island and very friendly. He took us to a local restaurant for some local cuisine which was amazing. Great value for money (there were 4 of us). We had a brilliant day seeing lots of the island and would definitely recommend.Written December 4, 2024
- LHY210 contributionsYou will not be disappointedWe highly recommend booking this full-day private tour, since it took us to so many places that are not on the agenda for any other tours. Ahmed was our tour guide and he is highly knowledgeable and you can tell he loves Barbados! He knows all the nook and cranny that we would not have expected. Of course we got to experience Harrison’s Cave, Animal Flower Cave, and other highlights of Barbados, but Ahmed took us to experience places that were just beautiful and he listens to what we liked. He’s also very mindful of our time and took routes that made the most use of our time with him.Written August 31, 2024
- kevinmM7189XQ0 contributionsFull day private Barbados tourAhmed went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see everything we wanted to and more. He spent the entire day showing us the entire island. I do not think that many operators would have been as willing to give as much time and attention. He is very knowledgeable about the island and the sights and his love for Barbados is evident from the moment you start the day. We would recommend Ahmed to anyone looking to tour Barbados!Written July 19, 2024
- Adventure674685802160 contributionsWaste of time and money tour, very amateur tourWaste of time & money tour! This is not full day tour! It better you get a taxi and told the taxi driver take you to the beach. So boring, waste of time and money tour. Not recommended this tour at all ! The tour guide just drive us around and let us out 1 location to take pictures. So boring till we asked him to take us to the beach. Even that he scare his car dirty / wet ! My point is this is very amateur tour, not recommended at all ! We don’t see anything listed on the original itinerary! Waste of time and money tour. The tour guide ask us where to go? How we supposed to know if we first time in the island ?Written July 6, 2024
- ritafO7550GO0 contributionsTHE WORST TOUR EVER! Not recommended!THE WORST TOUR EVER! The tour guy no knowledge on the islands. Basically he just drive us around without going out the car. The whole tour we just got out 1 time to take some pictures. He so scare we got his car dirty / wet. He asking we have change clothes/ towel, yes we did have all those stuffs if we asked to drive to the beach. My opinion this tour guy should get different job! Basically is waste of time and money for this tour. Not recommended at all ! My teens said it is better get a taxi to drive us to the beach.Written July 6, 2024
- Hels72bels0 contributionsAhmed was a fantastic guideIf this is your first visit to Barbados then book this early so it’s not sold out and book it first 1/2 days of your holiday. Ahmed has a love for Barbados, history, cricket & food so he can tell you anything and I mean anything you want to know! We saw all the picture spots on the island, plus Harrison’s cave, flower forest and a monkey! Nothing is to much trouble for Ahmed he is a true gentleman and has real pleasure in the fact you have learnt and enjoyed yourselves. Plus he takes you somewhere lovely for lunch and yes the cheesecake was delicious! This is my first time in Barbados but it won’t be my last and when we are back we will be calling on Ahmed again! Thanks again G&HWritten June 6, 2024
- Z5290PKjamesg0 contributionsFantastic day out tailored to our specific request.Fantastic day out. Made all the better by Ahmed listening to our unusual request (only visiting the the beaches around the Island) and then providing good commentary on the way. We had a great time and have wonderful memories and photos of the day.Written April 26, 2024
- skoush0 contributionsAmazing day around the island with Ahmed.Ahmed was a brilliant host for my husband and I. We’d put a small itinerary together prior and when Ahmed picked us up we showed it to him and went on our way. We visited 9 of the 11 parishes on the island throughout the day, stopping at the Animal Flower Cave, Andromeda Botanic Gardens, the Wildlife reserve centre, Rihanna Drive monument, Bathsheba and went around St Lawrence Gap and Bridgetown. Ahmed is very proud of the island and has a vast knowledge of its history. We coaxed it out of him eventually, mainly due to his modesty, but he was a successful sportsman in the past and is well known around the island and this showed during the tour. He arranged lunch for us and the food was so good. You won’t regret going on this tour, Ahmed was a delight and made the day run so smoothly for us.Written April 20, 2024
- F9094UFjeffreyn0 contributionsOne of our favorite days of the cruise!Our guide Ahmed was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely polite and very knowledgeable about the island. It was very clear that he loves and is proud of Barbados. After being on some other Caribbean islands which are somewhat rundown looking, Barbados was much nicer than we expected. I cannot recommend this tour and, especially Ahmed enough.Written April 4, 2024
- GayleM_120 contributionsBeautiful tour of Barbados!!!Our guide Ahmed was amazing. He picked us up exactly on time. He asked us what we wanted to see that day and planned an itinerary including what we wanted and added many more stops of what he thought we should see. He is very proud of his country and is glad to share all the history new and old with us. He took us to a fabulous lunch and even stopped for us to get some souvenirs. You won’t be sorry booking this excursion!!! Thank you for a great day Ahmed.Written March 20, 2024
- suewD8030AP0 contributionsFull day private tourOur day trip was with Ahmed. He was polite and made sure we saw all the attractions we were hoping to see. Ahmed provided us with lots of information about Barbados and went out of his way to make sure our day was enjoyable. He arranged lunch, which was great too. If you are looking for a day tour I would thoroughly recommend booking this one.Written March 10, 2024

- theone220 contributionsDisembarkation Day TourWe had a whole day in Barbados after disembarking our cruise and before flying home in the evening. This tour was perfect for 4 adults with our suitcases getting picked up at the port and dropped off at the airport. We had a fun day, finishing with a beer on the beach in a local bar. Would recommend a visit to Hunte’s Gardens which were absolutely beautiful. Thank you Ahmed!Written January 23, 2024

- Jane-ChrisBScotland0 contributionsInformative friendly and would happily recommendAhmed was extremely knowledgable without being condescending and from the start made the trip around us to get to see as much of Barbados as we could. The vehicle was bigger than I expected and very comfy.Written November 18, 2023

We had a great time out with Ahmed. Had 2 boys one a teenager. Company was excellent, information was top class. Ahmed interacted with the children and included them by asking questions and addressing them. Even the youngest was engaged all the time spotting landmarks and map reading which a great sign of the success of the your and at end the day he was reeling off historic facts. Awesome.!!! Tye older child who actually lives on the island also found it really interesting because Ahmed tailored the your and info so thing he hasn't seen or know about were conveyed. That aside we the adults felt included and that is a testament to a hood your because its my tired visit to Barbados and despite covid-19 Ahmed showed us places I have not seen in previous 2 visits. A great ambassador for Barbados. Than you Ahmed. 100% recommend this tour. Ask Ahmed best local places to eat near where you are staying and if you like shopping ask he will point them out to you or even introduce you. Love it love it 💏 ♥ (Alex, Anthony, Esi and Kɛkɛli).

I would rate this tour a 10 if I could! Ahmed was amazing! We covered the entire island in a half day and learned so much. Ahmed was a fabulous tour guide, professional and so knowledgeable. Be sure to leave the resort and learn about everything this gorgeous island has to offer, with Ahmed!
